A lot of people came there, of course, to see the grand opening. The trees and the whole square suddenly became extremely light. There were hearts, snowmen and Santa Clauses hanging on the trees and opposite the Burgtheater a huge Advent wreath appeared. A small orchestra played, as well and “The Blue Danube” was played from above the City Hall’s window. The scent of langos, sweets, punsch and mulled wine filled the air and the stalls were full of Christmas items, bags, cups, toys, flavouring soups and candles and plenty other less or more useful stuff.
Pushing through the crowds was neither easy nor pleasant. Plus, taking photos was a bit difficult task in such conditions but I managed to get some. I’m going to do the next photo session soon, because that’s the Vienna I really like – colourful, sweet, shiny, happy...
We also plan to visit all Christmas Markets, each day a different one. Maybe they will be similar, maybe not. We’ll see.
